Pharmacists withdraw from 24-hour duty program due to operating hours
September 4, 2024
Pharmacists have decided to withdraw from the 24-hour and night duty program in protest against their operating hours. The Pancyprian Pharmaceutical Association states that their patience has run out, especially as legal appeals regarding the hours have been pending for two years. The Association's President notes that some pharmacies do not adhere to the schedules either illegally or due to court orders, negatively impacting compliant pharmacies. This situation highlights ongoing issues within the pharmaceutical sector in Cyprus.
